Ready to Depart!

Host Vessel:
NOAA Pisces

All packed and ready to make the trip to the naval base where the NOAA Pisces, the research vessel we will be traveling on, is stationed preparing for its 3 week trip out to sea. Just spent my first night in Jacksonville at a local hotel. Never had a king bed to myself before!

I can't wait to see the Pisces in perosn and get to meet some of the crew today as we will head to the base for the first time. Today we will be making last minute cargo additions as well as preparing final paperwork and reviewing the project objectives to be completed at sea.

Sunshine has broke through this morning as the tropical storm Alberto pushes up onto land after making its way through the gulf waters. Hopefully the weather will hold off as we depart tomorrow morning. All packed and ready to go! Can't wait to be apart of some great work that will be conducted over the next few weeks.
